lyrics

There is a riot on the streets and all I can see is disaster,
So run faster
They got heavies in a jeep
With their targets on the weak
They’re gunning for you and me

They breed like rats as the system fails
To eat your rights away
Our police state now, it's a living hell
There’s no place for you and me

In this a state of emergency
It’s a state of emergency
It’s a state of emergency
For you, and me

When bullshit rules
You can’t fight it with truth
Have they distracted us to forgetting
What about Grenfell?
The Panama Papers?
Why are British bombs destroying Yemen?

The high streets dead,
Yet no one speaks.
You’re all glued from screen to screen
When it’s your front door
They’re kicking for
Where’s your sense of community?

In this state of emergency
It’s a state of emergency
Let’s make them rue the day they thought they could finally come for you and me
In this state of emergency

There’s a virus on the streets.
But on T.V. there’s no answer
So run faster
The one percent got their tests
Fear’s left the rest a mess
The rich own your right to breathe

When they feast like pigs
Our democracy fails
They vote your rights away
So stand your ground
This time we won’t back down
In this state of emergency

It’s a state of emergency
It’s a state of emergency
Protect your fellow man
Find the strength to stand
This time, for you and me
In this state of emergency

The Bar Stool Preachers image

The Bar Stool Preachers Brighton, UK

The Bar Stool Preachers' experiences have allowed them to create an album that is the perfect blend of intelligent punk anthems and poignant, unsentimental love songs, both combined with the most infectious music you’ll hear this decade. “Grazie Governo” (Italian for “Thank You Government”) exemplifies this, as the tongue-in-cheek title is the first indication that they're wise beyond their years. ... more
